I've done that also. *It's fine when you want to find the fuse/breaker

If the owner permits you can reduce the number of trips by checking
nearby outlets and switches and writing the breaker number on the live
(or dead) ones, on the back of the plate perhaps, to mark them as
already identified. I stuck Brady markers on mine, then made a list to
put near the box.
